Hello ghemraj,

Apologies for the confusion. View Creation is a specific terms in process intelligence.

In process manager you can indeed create views. A view can be use to see a model which contains different variants of one process. However, in a view, you solely include what you want to show an audience and exclude what the audience does not need to see. You do not create variant there.

Examples for using different views of process models:
• A model contains both user activities and elements for technical implementation. The audience wants to
focus on the technical implementation.
• A model contains different variants of one process. The audience should only view one variant.
• A model contains the expected path of a process and a number of exceptions. The audience doesn't need to see the exceptions.

Variant management is about creating specific process and witness their execution in diverse setups. Variant Management is managing the multitude of variants in processes by both identification and modeling of variants.

Let me know if that's help.

Hello ghermaj,

In SAP Signavio Process Manager, process variant represent different perspectives on a main process. Our variant management tools enable process owners and modelers to identify and model variants. Please note that variant dimensions are based on dictionary categories, you first need to populate your dictionary to obtain relevant results from your variant comparison.

View creation is our tool to create a data view in a process data pipeline in Process Intelligence. Data views are virtual tables that can retrieve and join data from tables and other data views through queries that you define. Data views are similar to SQL queries used in event collectors and case attributes of business objects. 

Despite some resemblance in the results you expect. Those tools have two distinct usage for different products in SAP Siganvio Transformation Suit.

Let me know if that make things more clear or if you need further support in the product usage.

Best,
